A block sliding on a horizontal frictionless surface is attached to a horizontal spring with a spring constant of 600N/m. The block executes SHM about its equilibrium position with a period of0.40sand an amplitude of0.20m. As the block slides through its equilibrium position, a role="math" localid="1657256547962" 0.50kgputty wad is dropped vertically onto the block. If the putty wad sticks to the block, determine (a) the new period of the motion and (b) the new amplitude of the motion.

Short Answer

Expert verified
  • The new period of the motion of block is 0.44 s.
  • The new amplitude of the motion of block is 0.18 m.

Step by step solution

01

The given data

  • The spring constant is, k=600N/m.
  • Mass of the putty is,mp=0.50kg .
  • The period of SHM executing by block is,T1=0.40s.
  • The amplitude of SHM executing by block is, xm=0.20m.

Understanding the concept of SHM

The period T is the time required for one complete oscillation or cycle. It is related to the frequency by,

T=1f

It is also related to mass (m) and force constant (k) by the formula,

localid="1657256993714" T=2Ï€mk

We can find the mass of the block from the period of its motion. Then using it and the mass of the putty in the formula for the period of SHM, we can find the new period of the motion of the block. Then using the law of conservation of momentum, we can find the maximum velocity of the putty-block system. Lastly, using the formula for the maximum velocity of SHM we can find the new amplitude of the motion of the block.

Formulae:

The period of oscillation for SHM,T=2Ï€mk (i)
Conservation of momentum gives,

Momentum before collision=momentum after collision (ii)

03

(a) Calculation of the period

Using equation (i) and the value of the old period of oscillation, the mass of the block can be given as:

mb=T21k4Ï€2=0.40s2(600N/m)4(3.142)2=2.43kg

Then, the total mass of the putty-block system is given by:

mb+mp=2.43kg+0.50kg=2.93kg

Again, using equation (i) and the total mass of the system, the new period of oscillation is given as:

T2=2(3.142)2.93kg600N/m=0.439s≈0.44s

Therefore, the new period of the motion of the block is 0.44s.

04

(b) Calculation of the amplitude

The speed of the block before the collision is given as:

vb=ӬXm=2πT1Xm(∵angularfrequency,Ӭ=2πT1)=2(3.142)(0.20m)0.40s=3.142m/s

The collision between block and putty is an inelastic collision.

According to equation (ii), we get the equation as:

mbvb+mpvp=(mb+mp)vf

(2.43kg)(3.142m/s)+(0.50kg)(0)=(2.93)

vf=2.61m/s

The amplitude of the motion of the putty-block system is given as:

Xm.f=vfӬ=vf2π/T2(∵angularfrequency,Ӭ=2πT2=vfT22π=2.61m/s(0.44s)(2)(3.142)=0.18m

Therefore, the new amplitude of the motion of block is 0.18m.

Most popular questions from this chapter

A 95 kgsolid sphere with a 15 cmradius is suspended by a vertical wire. A torque of 0.20 N.mis required to rotate the sphere through an angle of 0.85 radand then maintain that orientation. What is the period of the oscillations that result when the sphere is then released?

In Figure 15-37, two blocks(m=1.8kgandM=10kg)(and) and a spring (k=200 N/m) are arranged on a horizontal, frictionless surface. The coefficient of static friction between the two blocks is 0.40.What amplitude of simple harmonic motion of the spring–blocks system puts the smaller block on the verge of slipping over the larger block?

A simple harmonic oscillator consists of a block attached to a spring with k=200 N/m. The block slides on a frictionless surface, with an equilibrium point x=0and amplitude 0.20 m. A graph of the block’s velocity v as a function of time t is shown in Fig. 15-60. The horizontal scale is set byts=0.20s. What are (a) the period of the SHM, (b) the block’s mass, (c) its displacement att=0, (d) its acceleration att=0.10s, and (e) its maximum kinetic energy.

In fig.15-28, a spring–block system is put into SHM in two experiments. In the first, the block is pulled from the equilibrium position through a displacement and then released. In the second, it is pulled from the equilibrium position through a greater displacementd2 and then released. Are the (a) amplitude, (b) period, (c) frequency, (d) maximum kinetic energy, and (e) maximum potential energy in the second experiment greater than, less than, or the same as those in the first experiment?

You are to complete Fig 15-23aso that it is a plot of acceleration a versus time t for the spring–block oscillator that is shown in Fig 15-23b for t=0 . (a) In Fig.15-23a, at which lettered point or in what region between the points should the (vertical) a axis intersect the t axis? (For example, should it intersect at point A, or maybe in the region between points A and B?) (b) If the block’s acceleration is given bya=-amcos(Ӭt+ϕ)what is the value ofϕ? Make it positive, and if you cannot specify the value (such as+π/2rad), then give a range of values (such as between 0 andπ/2).
